Objective:To clarify the prognostic significance of 1q21 amplification in multiple myeloma(MM),and explore the efficacy and prognosis of ixazomib in the treatment of MM patients with 1q21 amplification.Methods:A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted on 77 patients with newly diagnosed MM who were hospitalized in Zhongshan Hospital,Xiamen University from January 2010 to December 2022.To analyze the clinical features of MM patients with 1q21 amplification,evaluate the mitigation rate and survival treated with ixazomib-based regimens.Results:Among the 77 newly diagnosed MM patients,40 patients had 1q21 amplification,while 37 didn't.Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that 1q21 amplification was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of MM patients(P＜0.05).Compared to patients without 1q21 amplification,those with 1q21 amplification had poorer progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)(both P＜0.05).When the 1q21 amplification ratio exceeded 66.7％,both PFS and OS were worse(P＜0.05).There were no statistical differences in the deep remission rate(≥VGPR),overall response rate and PFS between the 1 q21 amplification positive and negative groups treated with ixazomib-based regimens(P＞0.05),but OS showed a significant difference(P＜0.05).Among the patients who switched to ixazomib treatment from bortezomib,there was a statistically significant difference in the complete response rate(P＜0.05).Compared to other treatment regimens,ixazomib-based regimens resulted in a significant reduction in adverse reactions such as peripheral neuropathy(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Ixazomib-based chemotherapy regimens can overcome the poor prognosis associated with 1q21 amplification and improve mitigation rates and PFS in patients.Ixazomib has low incidence of adverse reactions,good safety profile and prolonged duration of therapy.

Objective:To analyze the predictive factors associated with late-onset sepsis(LOS) in very low birth weight infants,and to develop a risk prediction score scale applicable to these infants three days postnatal.This will provide valuable insights for early diagnosis and timely intervention.Methods:Very low birth weight infants admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 1,2022,to June 30,2024,were selected as research subjects.These infants were categorized into two groups:the LOS group and the non-LOS group,based on whether they developed LOS.LASSO regression analysis,alongside univariate and multivariate regression analyses,was employed to identify predictive factors for LOS in this population.A Logistic model was constructed using the optimal combination of predictive variables,and a risk assessment scale was subsequently developed.The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square test and the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 444 cases of very low birth weight infants were included,of which 185 had LOS and 259 did not.After screening the variables,seven independent factors were included into the model:birth weight,gestational age,tracheal intubation,abnormal skin color,abdominal distension,elevated C-reactive protein levels,and right hand perfusion index.A predictive scoring scale was developed based on the regression coefficients of each variable,with corresponding risk scores assigned as follows:1,4,3,2,1,1,and 2; a score of ≥3.5 indicated high-risk groups.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test results demonstrated that χ2 = 7.602( P = 0.473).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.792 ( P<0.001),with a sensitivity of 73.5% and specificity of 71.0%. Conclusion:The risk score scale developed in this study exhibits significant predictive capability,providing valuable insights for clinical medical personnel to assess the risk of LOS in very low birth weight infants during the early postnatal period.

Objective The risk prediction model of shivering during cesarean section was constructed and its prediction effect was verified.Methods A total of 225 parturient women who underwent cesarean section in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January to April 2023 were selected as study objects.According to whether shivering occurred during the operation,they were divided into shivering group(101 cases)and non-shivering group(124 cases).Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors and build a nomogram prediction model.Results The parity and proportion of intraoperative warming measures in shivering group were significantly lower than those in non-shivering group,and the proportion of diabetes,globulin,state anxiety inventory(S-AI)score and trait anxiety inventory score were significantly higher than those in non-shivering group,and post-anesthesia body temperature decrease was significantly greater than that in non-shivering group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes history,S-AI score,anesthesia method,post-anesthesia body temperature decrease,and intraoperative warming measures were all influencing factors of shivering during cesarean section(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the constructed prediction model for predicting shivering during cesarean section was 0.831,and the maximum AUC obtained by ten-fold internal cross-validation was 0.934,suggesting that the model had good fitting effect and differential validity.Conclusion The model can predict the risk of parturient shivering during cesarean section,and provide reference for medical personnel to take preventive management measures for high-risk puerperal shivering in time.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the predictive performance of serum levels of white blood cell count(WBC),D-dimer(D-D)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)for major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(ASTE-MI).Methods:A total of 70 elderly patients with ASTEMI treated in Bozhou People's Hospital between April 2020 and May 2023 were prospectively selected as observation group.Incidence of MACE during 1-year follow-up were recorded,another 50 patients with unstable angina pectoris treated in our hospital simultaneously were selected as control group.Serum levels of WBC,D-D and NT-proBNP were compared among above groups.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum WBC,D-D and NT-proBNP for MACE in elderly patients with ASTEMI.A nomogram was established,and calibration curve and deci-sion curve analysis(DCA)were used to evaluate the performance of model.Results:A total of 40 cases(59.70％)experienced MACE during one-year follow-up.Compared to those in control group,patients in observation group had significant higher serum WBC[(11.43±1.98)×109/Lvs.(6.30±1.99)× 109/L],D-D[(0.91±0.20)mg/L vs.(0.47±0.18)mg/L]andNT-proBNP[(192.31±63.19)pg/ml vs.(114.05±22.79)pg/ml](P＜0.001 all).Compared to participants without MACE,those with MACE had significantly higher serum WBC[(13.33±1.90)× 109/L vs.(10.27±0.98)× 109/L],D-D[(1.11±0.25)mg/L vs.(0.87±0.21)mg/L]and NT-proBNP[(238.73±50.22)pg/ml vs.(150.70±39.16)pg/ml](P＜0.001 all).ROC analysis showed that the ar-ea under the curve(AUC)of the combined detection of serum WBC(AUC=0.791,95％CI 0.677～0.879),D-D(AUC=0.767,95％CI 0.650～0.859)and NT-proBNP(AUC=0.733,95％CI 0.614～0.832)was 0.916(95％CI 0.825～0.969),which was significantly higher than those of single detections(Z=2.386,4.953,3.190,P=0.017,0.004,＜0.001).The total score of the nomogram model constructed based on the levels of WBC,D-D and NT-proBNP ranged from 70 to 126 points.The predicted incidence was basically consistent with the actual in-cidence.For the internal verification of the model,the AUC of ROC curve of the training set and the validation set was 0.863 and 0.926 respectively.The DCA curve was located above the critical curve,indicating that the model had a net benefit and good clinical effectiveness.Conclusion:Serum WBC,D-D and NT-proBNP significantly el-evated in elderly patients with ASTEMI.The combined detection of serum WBC,D-D and NT-proBNP levels has good predictive value for MACE in these patients.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of endothelial activation and stress index(EASIX)for the prognosis of patients with mantle cell lymphoma(MCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to assess prognosis and compare the clinical features of patients diagnosed with MCL who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to June 2023,had therapeutic indications and received standard treatment.Results:A total of 66 patients were included and divided into high EASIX group and low EASIX group,according to a cutoff value of 0.97 determined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prealbumin＜0.2 g/L,high EASIX,and ECOG PS score ≥2 were independent risk factors influencing overall survival(OS)in MCL patients.The median OS of patients in the high and low EASIX group was 13.0 and 37.5 months,and the median progression-free survival was 8.8 and 26.0 months,respectively.The proportions of patients with ECOG PS score ≥2 and prealbumin＜0.2 g/L at onset significantly increased in the high EASIX group compared to those in the low EASIX group.Conclusion:At the time of initial diagnosis,EASIX can serve as an independent prognostic indicator impacting OS in patients with MCL.Furthermore,patients in the high EASIX group experience a poorer prognosis and shorter survival duration compared with those in the low EASIX group.
